More than half of Canadians over the age of 50 are feeling positive about aging, according to a new national survey, but those who are struggling financially or have poor health were far more likely to struggle with their expectations of aging.
The National Institute on Ageing (NIA) partnered with the Environics Institute for Survey Research to ask 5,885 Canadians aged 50 and older about their experiences with and their expectations of aging.
The resulting report, published on Tuesday, found that optimism is common among older Canadians, with 63 per cent saying they felt positive about growing older and 72 per cent saying they had enough income for their savings to help them avoid major problems in the future.
